I was delighted to meet those working at Westfield shopping centre, Stratford, where I saw adjustments being made to ensure customers can shop safely.
This week, as shops start reopening in England, remember to follow social distancing rules to protect yourself and others.
752
I know that the lockdown restrictions have been difficult, and that many will be suffering from loneliness and feelings of isolation.
If you know someone who may be alone at this time, give them a call and let them know that you care.

There are few countries in the world who share a closer friendship than Australia and the UK.
Now, as an independent trading nation for the first time in decades, we have the opportunity to turn our shared history and friendship into a world-leading free trade agreement. 🇬🇧🇦🇺

I’m proud to call the United Kingdom a friend of New Zealand, and am thrilled that we now have the opportunity to strengthen our alliance by negotiating a new free trade agreement. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

The four men we are honouring today – Pierre, Edgard, Daniel and Hubert – symbolise the enduring depth and strength of the friendship between the UK and France. They are heroes who defended us and the whole world from fascism. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

Earlier today I went to Bovingdon Academy to see how they are safely getting kids back into school.
Our £1 billion fund is going to help schools catch up and bounce forward when all schools come back in September.
764
It was fantastic to answer the questions of children at Bovingdon Primary Academy yesterday, and talk to them about the government’s new £1 billion fund to support schools and children across England.

My thoughts are with all of those affected by the appalling incident in Reading and my thanks to the emergency services on the scene.
766
I’m appalled and sickened that people should lose their lives in this way. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the victims.
Thank you to Thames Valley Police for their bravery in tackling the suspect.

From 4 July we will be easing some restrictions in England. Where it’s not possible to stay two metres apart, people will be advised to keep one metre apart plus mitigations, such as wearing a face covering or ensuring you face away from others.

From July 4, we will move from 2 metres to ‘1 metre plus’. This means staying one metre apart, plus mitigations which reduce the risk of transmission.

772
From 4 July, your household will be able to meet with one other household at a time, including staying over. You should still remain socially distant from anyone outside your household.
#StayAlert
773
From July 4 in England, pubs, restaurants, hair salons, and many other businesses will be allowed to reopen - provided they can do so in a way that is COVID-secure, keeping customers and staff safe.
774
The government has asked a huge amount of all of you, and you have met that challenge with good humour and common sense.
Of course, the fight is far from over. We must all continue to stay alert to the risk of infection, and maintain social distancing.
775
Fantastic news that we are recruiting so many more doctors and nurses to our NHS.
There are now 6,000 more doctors than a year ago, and 12,000 more nurses.
